It's called featherbedding.

White collar or blue collar, it's the same schtick.

Naturally, the accounting industry would create a definition of adequate segregation that would demand hiring one of their own for a well paid sinecure.

Years after trains switched to diesel you'd find engines with both an engineer and a fireman as required by union rules "safety reasons" even though no fireman was needed to shovel coal into the engine because there was no more coal.

From what I understand, the railroads were able to end this form of featherbedding by proving with undercover investigations that all too many firemen (who really had nothing to do) spent the trip sleeping or goofing off...not checking on the work of the engineer or doing other safety related activities as the union claimed they were.
